Broken and worn teeth
Dental fractures and worn teeth are among the most common issues in dentistry. Composite can restore both function and appearance, often in a single visit.

BeforeThe patient had experienced trauma that resulted in a fracture, treated with composite many years ago. Over time, the composite's surface had stained and become yellow. In these situations, the old composite can simply be removed and a new one applied.
Worn teeth
Worn teeth make people seem older as their teeth are shorter and have an unnaturally even appearance. While there are many causes, the majority are related to grinding or clenching the teeth — often during sleep, without the person being aware of it. Composite can reshape the teeth, restore the bite and rejuvenate the smile; a mouth guard is mandatory afterwards to protect the composite.
